Baking Christmas cookies will be even more of a treat when the chef is outfitted in a handsome holiday apron.

Prep Time: Under 1 hour
What you need:
	Large potato Carrot Craft knife Pencil Two flat bowls Red and green fabric paint Paper towels Plain white apron
Seasons: Christmas
Materials: fabric, food items, paints
Instructions:
1.	To begin, cut the potato in half (an adult's job). Use a pencil to lightly draw a holly leaf on the potato's surface. Cut away the parts of the potato around the design and blot it on a paper towel. To prepare the carrot, cut off the tapered end.
2.	Pour a thin layer of green paint into a bowl and press the potato into the paint. Practice printing a few designs on scrap paper.
3.	Next, stamp a pattern of leaves to form a wreath on the front of the apron. For holly berries, dip the cut end of the carrot into the red paint (in a separate bowl) and dot the wreath with red prints.

Variations
Use this same technique to accent cloth napkins or a tablecloth with holly prints or a wreath pattern. Or create holiday T-shirts or sweatshirts for the whole family.
